The Bureau of Creative Works, Sunday 2:30pm (BR) Dedicated to directly-supporting and premiering the best independent filmmakers working in short film. Our studio is unique in three ways; 1. We are a non-profit, audience-funded operation,2. Our filmmakers retain full creative-control over their work, and 3. Our filmmakers own their films. Period. We act as a bridge between our filmmakers and an engaged audience that believes in the value of supporting short films and the talented people behind them. The BUREAU is a place to watch, to support, and to create honest, powerful short films without committee. As filmmakers and film enthusiasts, we share a responsibility to not only create and encourage quality films, but to provide a sustainable environment where filmmakers feel supported, and have access to the tools that they need to experiment and share their stories.
